Thanks Lynne. I will try out your suggestion. By the way I managed to soft-talk the Blackpool Registry Office on the telephone into confirming from the register that the Fylde marriage did not fit my criteria. I don`t think I could have done that with a bigger office. Gerard

Gerard I missed the earlier message. The marriage that took place was registered as Fylde. The Fylde books earlier this year were all transferred to the new Office at Preston. Unless you know the Church involved, there is no way to find any details unless you buy the certificate. You can obtain this from Preston or from GRO Office at Smedley Hydro near Southport. You could try emailing either Lytham Library or St Annes Library and ask if they can help re the photographer, Directories etc. Olive
